Feature requestion: rm option that supports trash

2008-02-05 Thread Wilfred
It would be great if rm supported moving a file to a freedesktop.org
compliant trash folder. This woud save much heartache by giving a
'safer' option for newbies.

Thanks

It's not safer for them when they find themselves using some system
which lacks the feature or has it turned off, but expect the feature
to still be available...

There is a pointer to some more information (including a HOWTO) in the
coreutils FAQ at
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#I-used-rm-to-remove-a-file_002e-How-can-I-get-it-back-now_003f
